It leaves much more for the imagination to discover. This cover does a great job at this idea.

Awww .. thanks Anne *big hugs*. Oh and BevL. I haven't wanted to step on any toes so am just checking that it's okay for me to post up the Book Art Request Form. Might be easier if I put it up at my blog but I'll make a link to it if your still interested :D Cheers! LOL! Awww .. thanks Anne *big hugs*.

It's my fave at TEB so far. When I worked with Kaz over at Samhain, we totally <i>squeeeed</i> over it. :D Awesome, awesome job! *nodsnods* I love the sensuality and sci-fi elements in the cover, Lyn!

I'm curious to see what one looks like, or at least what info is on one. Plus, part of the magic is seeing the transformation from the author's written words to the artist's final concept.

This cover was nice and straight forward. Kaz had put quite a bit of info into her Cover Request form, which was a nice change from the usual ‘whatever the artist feels is right’. The latter comment usually comes back to bight me on the butt

The figures, the Earth partial and the subtle background all sold me. And I even mentioned it to the wonderful Anne Cain, who did my Samhain cover for "Combat!", because I loved what Lyn came up with. Lorelie, you asked what it was like to write. Oh, hard. It was okay when I was in the groove but if I left and came back to it, the impulse to type "his" instead of "its" was very powerful. I thought I had combed and combed through it before submitting to Total-E-Bound but (just to show that the mind does edit what it reads) missed one mistype. And thanks for the feedback on the Cover Art Form, Lyn. I always wonder whether I'm trying to tell artists how to suck eggs whenever I fill one out. ::tangent:: Why is it always "suck eggs"? Have you ever tried to suck eggs? It's disgusting. Shouldn't it be "blow eggs"? I know that sounds gross as well but just for correctness' sake... ::/tangent:: I have to say I really love this cover.

I know no one will care, but here on my home computer I can see the detail without opening the large pic. At work I could hardly even see the hermaphrodite symbol. I wonder what that's about. huh.

I love the cover. When I opened the larger version I could then see all the detail Lyn was talking about. Very cool. Peace.

When I first glanced at this page, I thought it said "Show and Tell with Liv Tyler." I was like, damn, Bam knows Aerosmith's daughter! Dude.

I couldn't really see the "tech brush" until I opened up the larger image. I lurve subtle details. I wonder how hard it was to write in "it/she" vs "he/she" for the author. Ooh purty.
